Maturity group — small-seeded faba bean
Vicia faba L. var. minuta (hort. ex Alef.) Mansf.
Classification of small-seeded faba bean varieties based on the length of the growing season from emergence to full maturity, measured in days.
In the reference 78 varieties crop Tick Bean, where this is mentioned in the description.
For small-seeded faba beans, the maturity group is determined by the number of days from emergence to full seed maturity. The classification scale includes early-maturing forms with a growing season of up to 100 days, medium-early (101–110 days), mid-season (111–120 days), and late-maturing (121–130 days).
Selecting a maturity group is a key factor in adapting the crop to a specific cultivation zone, ensuring maturation before the onset of unfavorable autumn conditions. This trait determines the harvesting strategy and the need for desiccation, and it also helps mitigate yield loss risks associated with pod shattering and seed shedding during prolonged field standing.
